Hello and welcome to the wacky world of henaholics  :)

I'm sure someone with more experience will be along to give you advice soon, in the meantime good luck and happy chicken-keeping

Hi,

I live in Dorchester. Flyte so fancy is not far and a good place to start. Scats in Dorchester has got good stock too. A little poultry supply shop just opened in Dorchester too, in South Street. Barry Dunning out at Ibberton is a great man to get your girls from. Ibberton is in the middle of nowhere and not very well signposted but it is worth the trip. His number is 01258 817854.

Hope this helps, have fun

Thank you both for your replies :)
 Today we went and visited the poultry shop (also selling camping and caravaning equipment) in Dorchester very nice and helpful man  sells everything we will need but firstly we need to secure a coop of some description  :lol: .

Hi I live in Weymouth and have kept girlies for years.  Try CC Moore on the Granby estate for everything you need except coops, best prices I have found.  Pet Experience also on Granby has everything you need too. Flytes so fancy do lovely coops but oh so expensive.  Scats had a nice one in Dorchester but it was really just a converted shed, if you go and have a look at it, you can see how easy it would be to convert one yourself, and buying a basic shed to convert is much cheaper than paying someone else to do it. regards alison
